    Hi guys.

    So I recently bought a PG279Q gaming monitor, but I think it has a couple of dead pixels. They show up as bright white pixels, but are only really obvious on light grey or white screens. This is however an expensive monitor and I was wondering if anybody might be able to shed some light on what I'm looking at here? I have added some pictures below....

    Should I RMA?

    Thanks in advance.

    That looks like 4 (to 6, different area?) in a group. I believe that qualifies for RMA but I might be wrong.

    Yes there are two areas of the screen that are affected. Thanks for the response.

    In that case, I would absolutely send it off for RMA.
